Where to find help and advice

The Road Victims Trust offers a single point of contact for anyone who lives in Bedfordshire or Luton and is bereaved or affected by death or life-changing injury as a result of a collision on the road.

How we can help:

We offer a personal, confidential service to anyone who has been bereaved or otherwise affected by a serious road collision in Bedfordshire or Luton - a single point of contact for emotional support and practical advice.

We understand:

- That the horror, devastation, disbelief and pain can feel unbearable
- That there is so much information, yet it is hard to take it all in
- That many practical tasks have to be carried out
- That arranging a funeral is difficult, costly and untimely
- That dealing with police and Coroner's officers can be confusing

We offer:

- Free and confidential services
- A highly trained supporter who is skilled at supporting you through the
grieving process, and the difficult procedures and processes you will face
- Support at the inquest and criminal courts
- Access to all information required to deal with the aftermath of a serious
road collision
- Support to make choices as to how to use that information

Our services are for anyone who:

- is bereaved
- receives life-changing injuries
- is caring for the above
- is involved in the collision
- witnesses the collision
- is affected by the collision.

The services are available:

- as soon as they are needed
- for as long as they are useful
- with short term or long term regular support
- and can be based at home or in the office.

Please contact us on 01234 843345 to find out more.

"I was a parent suffering from a broken heart stuck in a long dark tunnel."

"It's not easy to move forward but it would be so much harder without your help"

"I began my journey of tears with a trained volunteer. Week after week, month after month we talked, I cried the volunteer listened and continued to give me support,"

"When the inquest was over I could see how much you had helped us. You had prepared us for this terrible ordeal and thanks to your expertise you have helped and supported us through it."

Our Trust services offer space - a listening and monitoring space - at the time of crisis and trauma.

We can help in many ways after an identification of what needs emerge for the individual and/or the family.
